IFAD's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,875,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 122,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 669,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 3,084,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This marks an increase from 2022, when total emissions were about 2,976,000 kg CO2e, comprising 74,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 618,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 2,284,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). Over the past few years, IFAD's emissions have fluctuated, with 2021 emissions recorded at approximately 1,216,000 kg CO2e, 2020 at about 1,384,000 kg CO2e, and 2019 at around 6,129,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a notable reduction from 2019 to 2021, but a subsequent increase in emissions in 2022 and 2023. Currently, IFAD has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The organisation's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent company, ensuring that the reported figures are solely reflective of IFAD's own operations. As IFAD is headquartered in Brazil, its climate commitments and emissions management strategies are crucial for addressing the impacts of climate change on agricultural development globally.
